Man got jail time and become a registered sex offender for it. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/02/15/man-sentenced-to-6-months-in-prison-for-buying-lolicon-manga/ Debating to close this or not..xD *Admin discussion in progress*

I'm just going to go on the record and state that I think off topic has handled this thread rather miserably, probably the most inept reaction by off topic in my entire time here on staff. I seriously think the infamous "ever caught them" thread was handled more maturely, good job guys! (that was sarcasm) This isn't an intellectual debate, not close. when someone says something thats not "socially" accepted or within someones line of beliefs - they've been labeled a pedophile, ignorant or whatnot. Everyone has a right to their opinions and since I don't see anyone applauding the guy, I'm going to assume no one is in support of him. We as a staff, and a site in no way condone, support Pedophilia or even welcome convicted sex offenders here. I feel it's a legitimate question to ask where the parents are at. We have users of different age ranges (many in this thread are also under 18 - that includes some of our staff) different genders, nationalities and different levels of upbringing by parents. It's baffling to think that such a wide group of worldwide users will agree on anything. 100% in the same way. While this is a tragic topic, whats exactly left to discuss? This forum is proving too closed minded to actually discuss the issue without throwing labels/stones and dismissing arguments, as a result, I'm locking it because there is way to much crap here to clean up. If you have a problem with any member of our staff - regardless of the team or rank PM me in private and i'll certainly talk to you about it. For an amusing fun fact: Tripsis - one of the users in a question is a female university student at a university thats known for pumping out lawyers and law majors at a higher rate than most California schools and even some other prestigious schools outside of cali. She's an advocate for womens rights and has volunteered time at womens centers. I find it ironic that of all people, she has an unattractive and slanderous label applied to her. Perhaps instead of throwing labels, we could have some intellectual debate on the next topic? some respectful disagreement? Oh and some maturity from the majority of the posters would be also appreciated. If you still have a problem with her post, please PM me. user satisfactions is my #1 concern. Thanks ~Das Ps: If a mod thinks this thread can be salvaged and cleaned for some sort of discussion, feel free to do it, If the users want to continue the moral debate or whatever elsewhere, start a new topic, just be warned it will be watched closely.

ahh yeah, But it was better for THIS http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9-T0jtelrQ Of course it was pretty good for awhile http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hqa1L0YxAhQ I love 80s-90s wrestling, Love meeting them at conventions when I can. Looking forward to the NWA fanfest in alanta this year. Some of my favorites.

ROACHIE?! HOLY CRAP

We are quite pleased to add Jack to our Clan Staff. We think he will be a great addition to our staff and let's give him a round of applause.

What the heck?

Haha yah everyone was hating on him, but now acting like this is the best thing in the world. now you can jack their 25m ranger sets pretty much

lulz, let's get back on topic :P

got any stuff of me wyrm?

I actually want Troll 2 On Blu Ray, I am eccentric. I wont go above $10 though. haha Bahahahahaha I've thought runescape would die like 4 or 5 times now, if it can survive removal of RWT, it will survive adding it back.

STAY AROUND OERGG AND COME BACK, WE MISS YOU. :P

Way too assume! I love film and Cinema, and T3 is a personal favorite of mine, that being said, Here's some classics from DVD collection. Schindlers List is on the right stack, between The Seventh Seal and The Wizard of Oz. You'll see quite a few Foreign Films in that stack from the Criterion Label and films with actors ranging from Gretta Garbo to James Dean - that classic enough for you? ;) Yeah, I like T3, It wasn't jumping the shark to me, Sorry my views don't align with yours - but you really should be careful when you assume next time. I'm an Ardent collector of Classic Star Wars stuff, and have been working on cast signatures for quite awhile now. I believe i'm 74 or so signatures into the cast. Every Cast member from Principal to Stuntman to Alien,Rebel, Imperial will be mine (Except Jack Purvis, I can think of better ways to drop 4 Grand for a guy who played a chief jawa and an ewok.)

but thats largely a view that people cannot always agree on. for your example T3 was my favorite movie of the series. Kristina loken was SUCH A BABE. And Salvation was fantastic, so the Terminator series have never "jumped the shark" for me [hide][/hide] This is the only time the shark has been truly jumped.

Runescape jumped the shark when they introduced the dragon medium. Dragon slayer, the start of the end!

this range guild stuff is too challenging solo

besides the fact that runescape had a MASSIVE rise in the number of new players at that time? :rolleyes: vieled sarcasm. Theres no evidence to support player sign ups or profit is on decline. Happens everytime updates come out people don't agree with/like.

runescape jumped the shark when RS2 came out.

But it seems typical for minorities to put themselves above others, so this is basically what the whole thread is about. For all i know, the Op might be a green mutant, i still wouldn't respect her. What if she was a ninja turtle? Or the Hulk? Would you respect her then? Does it matter what she is? It's a forum, Judge people by the content they post and the arguments they post - not who they are or claim to be. The discussion of her race, is really quite irrelevant, Who the piss cares? Asides, Unless it's Banner Hulk from the late 80s-Mid 90's it would be written in all caps and short sentences .

Yep, exactly, if it was sexism, it would of the usual "kitchen" comment. I've had other male in game tell me to suck thier..Well. we all know what word is next during a deachmatch or while we fought. it was harrasment at best, but I reported went on and didn't let some idiot bother me. I love how you state First off, Why is your gender and race important for an intellectual discussion on the removal of the filter? You're either trying to get support based on your minority demographics (women on the internet are sorta rare), or you're trying to bias the post by playing the race card. Race and Gender have nothing to do with this question you posed below The censor's removal shouldn't have any more of an effect on you, than anyone else ideally especially since your question originally seemed to be what actions you would take on reporting and not one of concern for growing offensive trash talk. You then proceed to state how people have said bad things to you, and you blocked them and acknowledge the filter and ignore list exist for people who are offended easily, overly sensitive, don't want to see it - whatever. They even have quick chat worlds where no one can say anything to you not approved by the "big brother" jagex - steps are available to avoid seeing text in it's "Raw" "uncensored" form. Now that I understand, but why in your FIRST reply - do you RACIALLY, AGE AND then GENDER profile a poster who didn't give you an answer that i would guess you agreed with by stating You finally say again A smart intellectual woman such as yourself could of easily go to http://www.runescape.com/rules/rule_inappropriate_language.ws And read Yep. it's reportable, end of thread Yet for someone so concerned with racism and discrimination you attack the poster OFFENDED by your reverse racism with obvious reverse racism/discrimination To be fair, short of the physically threating, you JUST DID TWO OF THOSE THINGS to him. Then you keep trying to derail the thread with OFF TOPIC questions about racism - you want a discussion on if racism is behavioral or inherited, go to OFF TOPIC. Your original question involved reporting, not why are people racist. I fail to see the relevance of this. BUT HELL i'll bite I can name at least 20 rap songs with offensive racist words in the title, words that are degrading and racist when used towards a person of colour yet an ENTIRE generation of white/black/latino/asians and oompa loompas have now turned it into slang, and listens to it in music with no problem. Books have been written on the subject. Anyways, Then you again, post this gem I don't even know where to begin with that. how does a runescape character sound black? How does a runescape character look gay? Actually Gugge told me once years in her country thats more offensive than pretty much any other insult - Hell, like other words, have different contexts in other places as america.... For someone who said "You're without a care in the world or a consideration for another person." You're obviously not thinking outside of American culture for offending people - if someone called you a numpty - would you take offense, do you know what it is? or would you assume? Regardless Racism is WRONG. Discrimination is wrong, and i've seen both sides use it in their argument, it has NOTHING to do with the original argument on reporting We are all humans, we are all self aware, capable of thought, we all bleed when pricked with a needle and we all share the same basic needs of food, shelter, love and happiness. it doesn't Matter your gender, your race, We're all EQUALS.

What do you think? I'm just sad I gotta take my lunch hour now silly office drone I am :(

I want a screenshot of that because in my 10 years of runescape, and hanging around at least 3 people who were PERM MUTED for offensive language - (Jmag, Pokey, Keeler) have NEVER seen anything half that vulgar and racist. Heck, Sleets, Pokey, and a few other good and well known pkers played black characters and NEVER got called a racial slur in my time killing with em. You've been playing the hell out of the race card since you've started posting. What a load of bull, Firstly, I don't believe in censorship, secondly, they are you're freaking screenshots right? You can post them wherever the piss you want.

The runescape I play must be *vastly* different to the runescape you play because - I don't see the sexism and racism people claim that jumps out at every corner. I pk and hang out in the more "vile" parts of the game too.

This thread made me gain faith in the runescape community, then lose it 11 posts later

and another one checks in - this just keeps getting more and more interesting! Who will be next? Outlaw rudy ? Salty Ant? The ever unforgettable Vaseline? Maybe Garm Sabre or Sadpoorguy? Who knows, Maybe thevilone11 or mercinary85 will show up! (kinda doubt it though lol)

i'm the only one in off topic old enough to buy a beer? Nice
